I'm busy planning my 2nd annual lockdown detail on my car, and this year I want to give the wheels a proper clean which means removing them one (or two) at a time. I have 2 trolley jacks - 1 * 3 ton and 1 * 2 ton - I also have 2 pairs of 6 ton axle stands. Last year I had a half hearted attempt to jack the car up, but bottled it. The car seemed really heavy (which I'm sure it is) and I didn't want to damage it. I also think that the fact I was only using one section of the jacking lever rather than both made the car seem even heavier than it is.
The question I have is - where should I put the pad for the trolley jack? I'm not keen on using any part of the bodywork / sills.
